  A balanced and pretty red with crushed berry and cherry aromas and flavors. Hints of currants, too. Medium body. Fine tannins. Juicy.

  Dark tone to the nose, soft liquorice and black fruits, faint hints of purple flowers with touches of blackcurrant. Juicy and succulent with real chew, this has a great frame and body, filling the mouth with plump tannins that also have a soft chalkiness giving texture and bite. Really well presented with a fruity core and overtone of freshness underpinned by generous acidity which keeps things lively. Really elegant and charming. I just love the juiciness on this - easy-drinking appeal with sappy agile fruit and lots of personality.

  Tasted on multiple occasions, the 2021 Château De Pressac is clearly outstanding and has a medium-bodied, balanced, nicely textured style as well as spicy red and black fruits, some subtle hints of iron, truffle, and leather-like aromas and flavors. This textured, concentrated 2021 already offers pleasure, but given its overall balance and structure, it should evolve gracefully over the coming decade.
